Use substitution
Plug in 5x for y
5x = 2x - 15
Subtract 2x
3x = -15
Divide by 3
x = -5, y = -25
Solution: (-5, -25)
Answer:
Cross multiplication is to clear an equation of fractions when each side consists of a fraction with a single denominator by multiplying the numerator of each side by the denominator of the other side and equating the two products obtained.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, the standard equation is in the form:
ax + bx = c (constant).
Thus, x and b must be isolated together on one side with the constant on the other. The equation which satisfies this is:
A. -2x + y = 5
We have
so this is indeed a difference of squares. Factorizing would give
making the answer D.
We can further factor the first term here and write
but that's clearly out of the scope of this question.
A: cost= 3*55+.35m
B: cost=3*50+.40m
set the costs equal, and solve for m.
